Mid Strip
Mid Strip
If you want a budget priced room at a premium mid strip location, check out the Imperial Palace. I stayed there once for three days @$15 a night. They threw in two buffet dinners and some other goodies AND the third night was free. I figure that, subtracting the freebies it cost me about $5 a night. This was an internet special, not a comp, and was avaliable to anyone. The IP is not a five star hotel but the room was clean, quiet and cool and the mid strip location is excellent.
The Barbary Coast is an often overlooked option right in the middle of all the action. Their website offers rooms as low as $39.
